Add-on at same or new villa?

[vbalacek]

Ok, I'm convinced I want to do an add-on of about 40-50 points. Now the question is where. We currently own at VWL (181 pts) and love it there, but I was thinking I'd like to try one of the Epcot resorts (BCV or BW). I think it will be nice to have the flexibility to enjoy the 11 month window there as the kids get older, and maybe have a higher resale property down the road?

DH thinks we should stick VWL because it will be much easier; we can book at the 11 month window for the whole trip at 1 place (We don't like to move mid-vacation). He makes the point that banking and borrowing to get consecutive days at an Epcot villa seems too complicated, most likely we're going to wind up having to get some days at the 7 month window anyway. He figures that if we want to stay at Epcot villas once in a while, just wait until 7 months and just try our luck.

Has anyone done small add ons somewhere other than their original home resort? Any stories on how this worked out?

Thanks!!!!

We have 300 points at OKW and recently did a small (60 points) add-on at VWL. So far it hasn't been a problem keeping track of the points, and with banking and borrowing we can easily book a room during early December (when VWL is very popular) at the 11 month mark.

My thoughts were to add on at OKW to keep things simple, but it turns out my concerns were unfounded. And I'm more assured of getting a room when I want it at VWL, instead of wondering if I'll be able to get something at 7 months.
